Compassion

Compassion is the gentle touch of warmth around you. There's a sincerity about compassion. It's the real kindness and nurturing that you can share with another. It's understanding and empathy. It's love in its truest form.

But it's also about being as compassionate with yourself as much as with others.

Go gently on yourself. Be kind to yourself. Have patience. Let time heal. Give yourself a hug.

Sometimes we set high standards for ourselves and can be our own biggest critics. This card is a reminder to quieten the critic. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them. Recognise that, even with our faults, we're all perfect just as we are. We deserve to be loved and we too can love ourselves completely.
